Carol, when Thune won in South Dakota over Dachle, someone took the total spent, the number of undecided voters (those very few who don't really know 6 months ahead of time who they will vote for) and calc'd the cost per vote. It was incredible. Possibly the same here.

Ed Schultz is making an ass of himself on MSNBC. Talks about "big money" as being the reason the GOP wins...says progressives have "hope" because 2 Dems won.

Yet fails to mention that unions have spent some $30 MILLION in these 6 recall races to support Democrats. But that's not "big money". After all, anyone who works for a union is dirt poor and spends most of his or her day being shit on.
